Re: The FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2011 thread

[the xcx]

i dont think xavi ever expected to win it.. but he definitely deserved to be ahead of c. ronaldo. what has ronaldo done in 2011? won the copa del rey? ffs xavi was fundamental in all of barça's titles.

not about the trophies, invidual performances against others, whats more valuable to club..Midfielder whos vital for a team or a player who scors 50 goals a season? The answer should be obv nuff.

so only strikers and goal scorers should ever win the award?

its not just a team.. the best team in the world. without xavi things this team would look very different.

im sure c. ronaldo is very important for madrid, and he's there with the best atm, but i just dont think that 50 goals in la liga say that he's the second best in the world. i think xavi deserves more recognition!!!

but messi is best.

Pretty sure he has scored 60 goals overall this year, Nt included. Im sorry to break your bubble but no midfielder can do better for a club than a striker who scores a 60 goals a year. But watever, its ur opinion.

and still RM was second in the league, and went out of the CL at the semi finals.. all those goals have to count for something too.. and im not saying they didnt.. but yeah we agree to disagree

[Harmonica]

Lionel Messi won the FIFA Ballon d’Or after polling 47.88 of the votes, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo (21.6)%) and Xavi (9.23%).

[EarlyPrototype]

rsinatra we lost the league and went out in the CL because of Messi.

And all those goals were from Messi, he is pretty much carrying barcelona not vice versa.

[rsinatra]

messi carrying barcelona? im not saying he is not hte best in the world, and the best in the team, but anyone who ahs watched that team knows that it's the most collective one in the world. a real team. its not like there's one indivdual superstar who carries a mediocre squad. but sure whatever!

That's proven time and time again, everytime Messi had a bad game Barca couldn't win.

He did nothing against Argentina, except dive and scream at the ref of course, I doubt you even watched the Copa America.
